'We got engaged at six weeks - it's fast but you can't put a time limit on love'

When you first get into a new relationship, everything can feel like it's moving at the speed of light - and that's probably because it is.

But one couple moved a lot quicker than most as they shared their love story online.

Melissa and Billy Gray, who have a joint TikTok account @thegrayys_, encouraged their 31,200 followers 'not to let time be a limit on love' as they shared how they quickly fell in love.

In a recent video, they revealed how quickly they fell in love, moved into a house together and got engaged, all in the space of six weeks.

They explained: “So our story began on the 5th of August and it’s been a whirlwind of events.

“Together after 2 days. House together 2 after weeks. Engaged at 6 weeks.

“Don’t let time be a limit on love.

“We are 6 months in now and everything is good.

“Here’s to our forever.”

At the time of writing, the video had been viewed more than 1.6 million times.

Since being posted, the video has been liked more than 84,000 times and has 1,400 comments, many from people who wished the couple the best of luck in their relationship.

One person said: "If you know, you know!"

Another added: "Me and my husband got engaged after two months, been together almost 19 years."

A third commented: "Life's too short, go for it and be happy."

Someone else put: "I moved in with my fella the first week we met, pregnant after 6 weeks, 15 years and 5 kids later we are happier than ever."

But not everyone was as keen on the fast-paced relationship, as one person said: "Divorce after 15 weeks."

Another said: “I mean, it’s just logic to tell people to wait longer than 2 weeks into a relationship before they buy a house together. Just seems like rushing” but the couple confirmed “We rent, not brought? However, we are this year... Yes.”

The couple also added: "We privately rent and tenancy is in both our names. Everything is 50:50."

Melissa revealed just how much she appreciates her husband and said: “I don’t thank this man enough for all he’s done for me.

“He really did save me, he makes me laugh from the minute I wake up, to the minute I fall asleep.

“This man has made me feel worthy of love and has made me become a better being.”
